Autumn is upon us. The change of season brings cooler nights and fall color to Ocean Mesa. Itís the perfect time to sip on something warm in front of a flickering campfire or take a meandering stroll along our walking trails to experience the season in the changing color of our sycamore trees. Choose a local wine from our well-curated wine collection or indulge in a relaxing massage at our signature Canyon Spa. Celebrate the fall in camping style at Ocean Mesa!

We are pet friendly! We have 2 dog runs: one is fenced, the other is an open run. Dogs are to be on a leash at all times and never left unattended at their campsite. To protect wildlife, dogs are not allowed on the hiking trails.
